- 8:32 am
- Bugscope Teamhi ms. kirby, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Teamgood morning!
- Bugscope Teamwe are making presets right now, will be done in 5-10 minutes
- TeacherHi, Scott and Alex, I just got here and am checking out our session. I am going to try to log on as a student on another computer - Janet. Mrs. Kirby will be here at 9.
- Bugscope Teamhi Janet
- Bugscope Teamokay, logging in as another student should work just fine, if you have any problems just chat us, or call us at 217-265-8164
- TeacherHey, you guys - great presets!
- Bugscope Teamthanks janet!
- 8:38 am
- TeacherMrs. Kirby actually has two classe coming: one from 9-9:45 and the next from 10-10:45. I think I asked you on Thurs, but can you go to 10:45?
- Bugscope Teamyep, looks like going to 10:45AM will be fine
- Teacherthank you!
- TeacherLet me know when it is okay to try out the navigation tools.
- Bugscope Teamgo ahead and try driving around
- 8:44 am
- Bugscope Teamwe are done with presets, you can drive around if you like to, just look out for trees and stuff
- 8:50 am
- Bugscope Teamthis is a very large female mosquito
- Bugscope Teamher mouthparts have separated, which is kind of cool -- it lets us get a good look at the tip of the stylet
- Teacher That is cool, They will be here in about 5min and I am going to leave this up with your comments; It is a good place to start. Do we still have the 3d gallery with the colorized stereo images?
- Bugscope Teamsomewhere...
- 8:55 am
- Bugscope TeamI didn't have much to do with that.
- TeacherI will look around, once they get started. We still have a bunch of glasses.
- Bugscope Teamwhat age are the kids today?
- Student8th grade
- Bugscope TeamCool! Thanks
- 9:00 am
- Bugscope Teamnot for me
- Bugscope Teamhttp://www.itg.uiuc.edu/ms/equipment/microscopes/esem/gallery.ppt
- 9:05 am
- Bugscope TeamJanet that will let you open the 3D image gallery. Cate put it online for us.
- Teacherthanks!
- Student;
- Bugscope Teamhi jiwon, welcome to bugscope!
- Bugscope Teamhey all
- 9:10 am
- Bugscope TeamGood morning Jiwon!
- Bugscope TeamGood morning Mallory and Savannah!
- Bugscope TeamAbbie!
- Bugscope TeamDavis!
- Bugscope TeamSpencer!
- Studenthola seniors and seniorita
- Studentbeans?
- Bugscope Teamnice name jp
- Studenthi jp
- Studentyes go make me some
- Studentyo
- Student:)
- Studentthank you
- Studenthey
- Studentwhats up
- Bugscope Teamwelcome to bugscope students, these are live images from an electron microscope. ms. kirby can control the scope now
- Bugscope Teamclose up
- Studenthi colby
- Studenthey chris, krys
- Bugscope Teamyou can see the compound eyes
- Studentthat was kourtni
- Studenthello
- Studentbo
- Studentwhats up
- Bugscope Teamwith all of the facets -- all of the ommatidia
- Bugscope Teamcheck out the compound eyes, those are those bumpy things on either side of the head. compound eyes are made up of hundreds of facets (ommatidia), each of which have a lens in it
- Bugscope Teamthis is a woodland moth
- Bugscope Teamcool, check out this skipper!
- Bugscope Teamsorry Skipper not moth
- Bugscope Teamit had antennae 'til this morning
- Bugscope Teamyou can see its mouthparts are coiled up
- 9:16 am
- Bugscope Teamnow we are at the mosquito head again
- Bugscope Teamits mouthparts separated
- Bugscope Teammany moths, skippers, and butterflies have coiled tubes through which they feed
- Bugscope Teamthe compound eyes are pretty cool, each "bump" (ommatidia) has a lens in it. but the lens can't move like ours can, so instead the moth has hundreds of ommatidia, each one pointed in a different direction. that way the moth can see with wide angle
- Bugscope Teamthat feeding tube is called the proboscis
- Bugscope Teamthe largest proboscis in the world is the elephant proboscis
- Bugscope Teamthey are covered with tiny scales that are sort of like feathers
- Bugscope Teamif they run into a spider web the scales will come off easily and sometimes they can escape just by shedding scales
- Bugscope Teamms. kirby, if you or your students have any questions, please feel free to ask
- Bugscope Teamyou all can talk if you want, ask us any questions you have
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are what make butterflies, skippers, and moths feel silky to us
- Bugscope Teamthis is the wing of the grasshopper
- Studentwe cant talk to you
- Bugscope Teamsorry jp
- Bugscope Teamif you take the mag up here you can see a scale right in the middle of the image
- 9:21 am
- Bugscope Teamthe scale is from another insect
- Studentwhat are the grasshopper wings amde of ?
Bugscope Teamchitin, the same stuff as your fingernails
- Bugscope Teamthe little thing in the middle is a single scale.
- Bugscope Teamthey are made of chitin
- Bugscope Teamalso called cuticle
- Bugscope Teamit's made of of fingernail like material
- Bugscope Teamand it is similar to what, as Cate says, our fingernails are made of
- Bugscope Teamlike the shell of a shrimp
- Bugscope Teamsee the scale?
- Studentyes
- Studentwhat r butterfly wings made of, is it the same as the grasshopers
- Studentya
- Studentare they as fragile as regular fingernails, or are they much thinner?
- Student yes
- Studentyes
- Studentyea
- Student*-*
- Bugscope Teamif you can take the mag up a little you will be able to see its architecture
- Bugscope Teamscales are the powdery stuff that comes off of butterfly or moth wings if you touch them
- Bugscope Teamthey are much thinner than fingernails. light and strong for their thinness.
- Bugscope Teamnow you can see that the scale has lines in it like a feather
- Studentthx
- Studentwow so the powder is acually c
- Bugscope Teamif you go still closer you can see pigment granules
- Bugscope Teamwhat feels like powder is actually these things, yeah Chanc
- Bugscope Teamsee the micron bar to the lower left?
- Bugscope Teamthis scope can magnify up to 800,000x, but for the sake of looking at bugs and stuff, 20,000-40,000x is usually the top magnification
- Bugscope Team12 microns is the length of six rod-shaped bacteria end to end
- 9:26 am
- Bugscope Team12 um = 12 microns (one micron = one millionth of a meter)
- Bugscope Teamyou can go still higher but might have to focus a little bit
- Studentdoes this belong to the grasshopper or the moth
- Bugscope Teama micron is a thousands of a millimeter
- Bugscope TeamKrys you are right this does not really belong to the grasshopper but it was on it s wing
- Bugscope Teamhard to tell, it could be a moth or a mosquito or even maybe a butterfly scale
- Bugscope Teamnow we could use a little brightness
- Bugscope Teamthis is a little hard to see now
- Bugscope Teamnow we see the antenna base
- Bugscope Teamthe dome to the NW is an ocellus
- Bugscope Teama simple eye
- Bugscope Teamwe are looking at the compound eye to the left
- Bugscope Teamon a grasshopper it is actually hard to see because the eye is so smooth
- Bugscope Teamsimilar to that of a cricket or praying mantis
- Bugscope Teamit is hard to see the individual ommatidia
- Bugscope Teamwhich is what the facets of the compound eye are called
- Studentwhat part of the grasshopper is this
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head, and the base of the antenna
- 9:31 am
- Bugscope Teamyou can see tiny hairs called 'setae'
- Bugscope Teamthe setae ('see-tee') are often mechanosensory -- the insect uses them to feel its environment
- Bugscope Teamsetae (sea-tea) are kinda like cat whiskers, they help insects to sense their environment. insects have lots of setae
- Bugscope Teaminsects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, like the wing
- Bugscope Teamthe setae stick through the exoskeleton, to nerves underneath
- Bugscope Teamso it is like if you were wearing a coat of armor all of the time
- Bugscope Teamyou would not be able to feel what was touching the surface of your armor
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the claws of the grasshopper
- Bugscope Teamyou can see the tip of the second claw below
- Studentwat is the setea used for
Bugscope TeamSince the insects have a hard exoskeleton (like us if we were wearing a suit of armor) they can't feel much with out the setae. But the setae are poking through their armor and are connected to nerves so they can sense what is around them
- Bugscope Teammore setae that help the grasshopper feel what is in its grip
- Bugscope Teamsome setae are not just for sensing touch
- Bugscope Teamall these images are black and white because the scope is an electron microscope. it uses electrons as a means to gather the image, NOT light, so there is no sensing of the frequency of light, thus no color
- 9:36 am
- Studentwhats the palp
Bugscope Teamthe palp helps the insect manipulates its food and it also tastes or smells the food
- Bugscope Teamthe images can be colored after the fact, by using elemental analysis, and color according to that analysis
- Bugscope Teamthere are usually, in an insect, mandibular (the lower jaw) and maxillary (the upper jaw) palps
- Bugscope Teamms. k, you are doing a great job of driving!
- Bugscope Teamwhen you see a grasshopper eating, everything seems to be moving at once
- Bugscope Teamif at any time, you want one of your students to drive the scope, just let us know, we can give control to any student
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that there is some dirt on the head, above the mouthparts
- Studentbye bye
- Bugscope Teambe sure and look around -- check out the rest of the presets
- Studentbye bye
- StudentGood Bye!
- StudentThank you!!!!!!!
- Studentgood bye forever
- Bugscope Teamlater jpizzle, et. all....
- Studentgoodbye and thanks for your help
- StudentBye Bye!
- Studentthx so much
- Studentbye, see ya, bon voyage!
- Bugscope Teamyou all rocked and or rolled
- Student-_-;;
- Studentill remember these molments
- Bugscope Teamau revoir!
- Studentgoodbye:-) THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
- 9:42 am
- TeacherThis is Janet. They are switching classes. I am going to navigate for awhile to get them some good images.
- Bugscope TeamCool -- Thanks Janet.
- Bugscope Teamok janet, no problemo
- Bugscope Teamthe students are very well behaved. we can take lots more questions if you want
- Bugscope Teampretty sturdy mouths on these guys
- Bugscope Teamsorry janet! i accidentally logged you off.
- Bugscope Teamsorry for logging you out ms. k, my mistake, welcome back!
- Teacherit's okay, I just thought that my driving scared you.
- Bugscope Teamno, you are doing great, and the students are well behaved. we can answer a lot more questions if you want. it's up to you though.
- 9:47 am
- Teachernot sure what I did. Should I just wait?
- Bugscope Teamare you able to control?
- Bugscope Teamms. k, is anything wrong?
- Bugscope Teamif so, you can call us at 265-8164 anytime and talk to me live
- Bugscope Team217-265-8164
- TeacherI just kept getting red flag warnings. I am going back to the preset
- Bugscope Teamyou mean the red bar across the screen?
- Bugscope Teamthere is prob'ly some latency in driving
- Bugscope Teamfrom what you ask the 'scope to do and when it does it
- Bugscope Teamme driving now
- Bugscope Teamyeah working
- 9:53 am
- 9:58 am

- StudentHello
- Studento_o
- Studenthola
- Student-_-;;;
- Bugscope TeamHi You All!
- Bugscope Teamtoday your class will be running a scanning electron microscope from your school
- Bugscope Teamthis is a grasshopper mouth, a live image from our electron microscope
- Bugscope Teamscott just adjusted the brightness a bit
- Bugscope Teamone person at a time can control the microscope from your school
- Studentheyo peepl
- Bugscope Teamnotice all the little hairs. bugs have tons of hairs. these are called setae (see-tee). they are kinda like cat whiskers, in that they help the bug sense its environment
- Bugscope Teampresently it is Ms Kirby
- TeacherI am now Mrs. Kirby - Janet and Mrs. Kirby is Kirbs
- 10:03 am
- Bugscope Teamokie-dokie
- Bugscope TeamMrs Kirby!
- Bugscope Teamlet us know as you have questions -- we are ready
- Bugscope Teamand try some of the presets
- Bugscope Teamwe have some mites for you to image, and a mosquito, a borer, a no see 'um,...
- Bugscope Teamhere you can see part of the jaws
- Studentwhat is the horn thing
Bugscope Teamthe horn thing is part of the mouth-parts
- Bugscope Teamthere are two of those sharp things -- they are part of the jaws
- Bugscope Teamwhat they bite with
- Studentwhats is thta
- Studentwhatis this??
Bugscope Teamthis is the palp of a grasshopper
- Studentwhat is a palp
- Studentwhats a palp
Bugscope Teampalps are appendage like things coming from the mouth area of some insects
- Studentwhat's that thing that looks like a leg?
Bugscope Teami think that is the palp
- 10:08 am
- Bugscope Teama palp is a mouthpart that is like a little arm that helps the insect eat
- Studentwhat is the curled thing
- Bugscope Teamthe palp moves the food around, it can also taste or smell the food with the palp
- Bugscope TeamELAYN you mean on the left?
- Bugscope Teamnow we see one of the claws
- Studentthey have claws?
- Bugscope Teamyes almost all insects have claws
- Studentwhat is its purpose
- Bugscope Teamthis is a grasshopper claw, pretty gnarly huh?
- Studentwassda bckround
Bugscope Teamthat is carbon tape, it helps ground the samples.
Bugscope Teamgood questions, there is sticky tape in the background, it helps to keep the bugs stable on the stub
- Bugscope Teamthey use it to grasp things, like you use your hands
- TeacherMy image keeps flashing. Why?
Bugscope Teamhmm, not sure, try hitting refresh (F5)
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that the claw has little setae on it that help the grasshopper feel when it grips something
- Bugscope Teamtry some of the other presets
- Bugscope Teamthis is kind of like a foot
- Bugscope Teamyou could see one portion of the claw, to the right, and below it was the other half
- 10:13 am
- Bugscope Teamthis is where, in a fly, you would have a sticky pad called the pulvillus
- Bugscope Teamgrasshoppers cannot crawl on the ceiling like flies can
- Bugscope Teamah, this is the wing of a grasshopper
- Bugscope Teamand right in the middle here we see a scale, from some other insect
- Bugscope Teamfrom a moth or butterfly or skipper
- Studentwhat are the little dots on it?
Bugscope Teamthose dots are holes, helps to keep the weight down
- Bugscope Teamthe scales are like tiny feathers, and they are what make moths, for example, feel silky when you touch them
- Bugscope Teamthe wing scale is built for strength and lightness - notice all the holes in it, that helps to keep it strong but lightweight
- Bugscope Teamthe tiny dots on the scale were pigment granules
- Bugscope Teamthe dots we see on the wings are microsetae
- Bugscope Teamand as Alex said the holes in the scale looked like dots as well
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a mosquito
- Bugscope Teamthis is cool, check out the compound eyes on either side of the face
- Studentwhat's that circle thing above its eyes?
- Bugscope Teammosquitoes also have scales, and you can see them now in the middle
- Bugscope Teamits mouth parts are everywhere
- Bugscope Teamthe circle is part of the biting mouthparts
- Bugscope Teamthere is another preset that shows the stylet -- what the mosquito bites you with
- 10:18 am
- Bugscope Teamthe curvy thing is part of the proboscis
- Bugscope Teamsee the tiny scales, as well
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that part of the curvy circular thing is hollow
- Studentwhat is the feathery thing above the eye?
- Bugscope Teamthat is where the blood runs when you get bit
- Bugscope Teamthe feathery thing is one of the antennae
- Bugscope Teamthere now you can see the sharp part
- Bugscope Teamcool, nice driving kirby
- Bugscope Teamthis is usually hard to see
- Bugscope Teamthis is usually inside a sheath
- Bugscope Teamuse click to center to bring the tip into view
- Bugscope Teamif you would like
- Studentwhere does the liquid that does not let you fell the bite come out?
- Studentwhat is im the liquid that they put into you after they stick the pointy part into you?
- Bugscope Teamit is saliva that has anticoagulants in it so the blood will not dry on the way in
- Bugscope Teamso the blood will not clot
- Studentwhy is it itchy?
- Bugscope Teamthis is sharp like a little tiny steak knife
- Bugscope Teamsome of us react to the saliva and it makes us itch
- Bugscope Teamsee how it is made to cut?
- Bugscope Teambee stingers are kind of like that as well
- 10:23 am
- Bugscope Teamthis preset moved a little since this morning when we made it
- Bugscope Teamthis is the open portion of the antenna that had broken off
- StudentWhat is the sponge-like stuff coming out of it?
- Bugscope TeamTessa we are not sure what we are seeing here
- Bugscope Teamthe inside of the antenna will have lots of nerves that lead to the brain
- Bugscope Teamand there will be some muscle as Alex says
- Bugscope Teamthis is the head of a Japanese beetle, from the ventral side -- from underneath
- Bugscope Teamthis microscope is called an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). it can magnify up to 800,000x, but when looking at bugs 20,000x-40,000x is usually the max resolution
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that the antennae are folded up against the head, and they are lamellated
- Bugscope Teamthey are made to splay out like a fan
- Bugscope Teamthe eyes are visible as well
- Bugscope Teamfrom here they look smooth
- Studentwhys its nec lined wit har
- 10:28 am
- Bugscope Teamthe hair on the neck help it tell when its head is moving a particular direction
- Bugscope Teamthis is one of the arms]
- Bugscope Teamthe last few segments of an arm or leg are called the tarsi
- Bugscope Teamsingular tarsus
- Studentgood bye
- Studentgoodbye everyone!
- StudentTHX
- Studentadios!
- Studentbyby
- Studentbye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

- Student>.,
- StudentSee ya!
- Bugscope Teamhere is some tenent setaeon a fly
- Student>.
- StudentByByByByBy
- Studentbye
- StudentIt was cool. Nice to really see what they look like
- Student=(
- Bugscope Teamwhich let it walk on walls
- Studentadios:)
- Bugscope Teamgo to the mites!
- Bugscope Teamwe were so excited about them
- Bugscope TeamYay!
- Bugscope Teamhere is a mite on a millipede which is always fun to see
- Bugscope Teamthis is so cool
- Bugscope Teamit is so tiny
- Teachercool
- 10:33 am
- Teachercool!
- Bugscope Teamafter you look at it using high mag you can drop the mag down and show viewers where it really is
- Bugscope Teamthese guys are blind -- they don't bother to have eyes
- Bugscope Teamand they 'go down with the ship,' apparently, when the host dies
- Bugscope Teamthis guy had his nasty little biting mouth bent back
- TeacherScott, the reporter would like to know how long bugscope has existed?
- Bugscope Teamthat is what hurts when they bite you
- Bugscope Teamalmost 10 years now
- Bugscope Teamwe started in March 1999
- Bugscope Teamin that time we have done around 400 sessions
- Bugscope Teamsome schools have connected every year
- 10:39 am
- Bugscope Teamwe have two unversities, presently, Marquette (this afternoon) and Washington State, that use bugscope as part of their training of preservice teachers
- Bugscope Teamhere is a map listing every Bugscope participant: http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/members/all/
- Bugscope Teamnow we are going to start that same deal with Northeastern Illinois, with the guy who used to be the technology coordinator for the Park Ridge Illinois school district
- Bugscope Teamwe have connected with Ireland, Australia, Colombia, Honduras...
- Bugscope Teamand we have had people log on from Turkey, Israel, Germany, among others
- TeacherI am passing this on, stay tuned for more questions
- Bugscope Teambut most of our connections have been in the US
- Bugscope TeamK through 12
- Bugscope Teamit is always a little different
- Bugscope Teamsometimes the kids talk a lot, and sometimes we can let them drive
- Bugscope Teamsometimes there is, apparently, anarchy in the classroom, but there are always good kids
- Bugscope Teamwho are really interested
- 10:44 am
- Bugscope Teamthis, here, is our first no-see-'um
- Bugscope TeamKendra, who schedules our sessions, got it from her husband, who pinched it out of his hair
- Bugscope Teamvery small and mean little dudes
- Bugscope Teamyou can see that his/her 'beak' is broken
- Teacherwe can only see the preset
Bugscope Teamtry hitting F5 (refresh)
- Bugscope Teamthese are kind of like flying bedbugs
- Bugscope Teamsee the eyes?
- Teachernow we have it
- Bugscope Teamin the middle, pointed toward us, is the proboscis
- Bugscope Teamwhich is broken and bent
- Bugscope Teamthey are so small it would be hard to catch one whole
- Teacheris the probiscus broken in front
- Bugscope Teamyes
- Bugscope TeamI think it normally projects forward
- Bugscope Teamlike your cartoon version of a mosquito
- Teacheris that the part that "bites you
- Bugscope Teamyes
- Bugscope Teamit is a shame that this is the only one we have but we are happy to have one at all
- Bugscope Teamthey are said to be 0.25 inches long but this was smaller than that
- 10:49 am
- Bugscope Teammore like an eighth of an inch, little black flying bug
- GuestHas it specialized 'claws' for holding on to its prey?
- TeacherI should really catch more things for bugscope. Well, I have to sign off, the next class is in. I gave the reporter the bugscope website and e-mail and told her to e-mail any more questions she has or verify anything I was not sure of.
- Bugscope TeamVicente I am not sure. You can drive south to look.
- Bugscope Teamok thank you
- Bugscope TeamYou now have control if you would like to drive.
- Bugscope Teamthanks kirby!
- Bugscope Teamclick to center is sometimes easier
- Bugscope Teambut you are doing very well
- Bugscope Teamthis one got seriously smooshed
- Bugscope Teamno that should be alright
- Bugscope Teambye bye kirby, thanks for a great session!
- Bugscope TeamThanks Janet/Mrs K
- Teacherthanks, you guys -- everyone loved it!
Bugscope Teamyou are very welcome, remember all the chat/images are saved at: http://bugscope.beckman.uiuc.edu/members/2008-099
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school, are you vicente as well?
- Bugscope Teamyou can see the claws you mentioned
- Bugscope Teamknee
- Bugscope Teamthe claw is toward the middle of the body
- Bugscope TeamNE
- 10:55 am
- Bugscope Teamnice driving for your first time!
- GuestNo I just came in as a guest and believe you have a great educational tool here!
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school, your compatibility tests never quite passed, but we are good to go anyway, the only bad symptom might be lag in the images. if you are seeing a lot of lag, try staying away from "click to drive" and "focus". instead use "click to center".
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school, would you like to practice for your session tomorrow?
- Bugscope TeamVicente this is so much fun for us.
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school, are you still there?
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school just greyed out, they must have shut down the browser...
- Guestwe can try a practice
Bugscope Teamokay, i just gave you control, give it a try
- Bugscope Teamyay!
- Bugscope Teamyou should see controls on your right, magnify, navigation, focus and adjust
- GuestDid yo get our insects?
Bugscope Teamyes, we have your samples
- GuestGreat site, will forward to others. Be well!
- Bugscope Teamcate will be preping the samples today and tomorrow morning
- Bugscope Teamsullivan school, at any time you can click on a preset, and it will move you to that location. presets are cool parts of different bugs. it's a quick way to move to something cool
- Guestwat kind of insect are we looking at
- Bugscope Teamcan you zoom out so i can see it better? i'm not sure now
- Bugscope Teamah, this is a no see um, also known as a punkie, or the scientific name is the Ceratopogonidae
- 11:00 am
- Bugscope Teamthis is a no-see-'um
- Bugscope Teamit is pretty beat up
- Bugscope Teamit was not collected in the interests of science as much as Kendra's husband just wanted it out of his hair
- Bugscope Teamon the left you see the proboscis, which is bent backwards
- Bugscope Teamany questions about controlling the scope?
- Bugscope Teamhow far is it to Bucklin?
- Bugscope Teamhey you can see the compound eye facets
- Bugscope Teamto the right!
- Bugscope Teamif you cannot see try F5
- 11:06 am
- GuestBucklin is about 90 miles away
- Bugscope TeamThat's where my mom was born
- Bugscope TeamCool.
- GuestMy dad was born in Ashland, about 30 miles south of Bucklin
- Bugscope Teambucklin must be tiny, i don't see it on google maps
- Bugscope TeamMy grandmother was superintendent of schools for Ford County.
- Bugscope Teamand she was Principal of Richland Valley.
- Bugscope Teamif it is still there
- Guestwe're switching classes right now, i've got a new group coming in
Bugscope Teamoh, are we actually doing a session with students?
- Bugscope Teamcool!
- Bugscope Teamheh, there's a town called liberal just south of ulyssis. funny if a real big conservative lived in liberal. heh
- Bugscope Teamtry one of the mite presets if you would like
- Bugscope Teamyeah Liberal is big
- Bugscope Teamit's a real practice session
- Guesti'm just showing them what we're doing tomorrow
- Bugscope Teamah okay, no problemo
- Bugscope Teamwe have 'til 11:30 our time
- Bugscope Teamwe are happy to have you aboard
- Bugscope TeamI am happy to have someone from W. Kansas
- Bugscope Teammy grandmother lived in Dodge City the last 30 years or so before she died
- Bugscope Teamif you have multiple computers, each student can login from a terminal (as a "student") and then we can pass control of the scope to anyone logged in, and they can ask their own questions so you don't have to type so much
- 11:12 am
- Bugscope Teamthis is the eye of the no-see-'um
- Bugscope Teambeastly little flying bedbugs
- Bugscope Teamhow is the lag shelley? is it bad? or okay? or just fine?
- GuestIt's not bad
- Bugscope Teambe sure and cruise around if you would like
- GuestWe'll have about thirty computers tomorrow
- Bugscope Teamwow
- Bugscope Teamyou worked with us last year didn't you?
- Bugscope Teamhmm, with 30 kids logged on the lag might get worse. if you have problems you could try doubling up students on a computer, or even triple team.
- Guestyes, we were here last year.
- Bugscope Teamif you have any problem, you can also call us in the ESEM room: 217-265-8164
- Guestyou had a session with our school board
- GuestThanks for the practice
- Bugscope Teamor we can call you if it's cheaper that way
- Guestsee you tomorrow!
- Bugscope Teamyou are welcome!
- Bugscope Teamsee you then!
- Bugscope TeamGreat! Thanks!
- 11:17 am
- Bugscope Teamover and out ....
- Bugscope Teamokay, nice session(s) everyone, i'll close it up
- Bugscope Teamchowzers!
